		<h2>Block Diagram</h2>
		<p>
			Block diagram is extremely useful in design as it is universally understood and it may convey information 
			regarding interdependency, connectivity, signals, and control data. Our block diagram consists of two main 
			stations, one for the mouse and one for the cat. Each in turn contains the following four blocks:
			<ul>
				AT90 USB 1287 (The brain): This is the micro controller that contains the autonomous intelligence.
			</ul>
			<ul>
				Radio (The wireless passage): This is the wireless channel that allows the stations to communicate with 
				each other.
			</ul>
			<ul>
				Poloru IR Beacon Transceiver (The eyes): This is the sensor that gives a station the ability to detect/see the other stations.
			</ul>
			<ul>
				Roomba (The body): This is the actuator that moves a station.
			</ul>
